London, England.
After the release of the ballet solo MV, Yulia Shulshkina's originally peaceful life suddenly became noisy again.
Paparazzi trying to dig up gossip, strangers coming to seek cooperation, sudden phone calls from home in Moscow asking for money, even the banker in prison began to feel restless, probably because he felt he had nothing to lose. , as long as some media are willing to give benefits, anything can be said.
Shulshkina, who was accustomed to treating the world coldly, was not troubled.
This girl who was cold on the outside and cold on the inside once only had a touch of warmth in her heart, her daughter Nina. Now, there is another touch, the man who possesses her and provides her with all security. Moreover, that man also allows her to be like this A cluster of flowers that I thought had withered long ago bloomed again.
Regarding that solo dance, no matter how strong the response was aroused after the release of the MV, she only thought that she danced for him alone.
According to the instructions I received beforehand, I contacted the person in charge of the Westeros company here for small matters, and called Sofia Fesi for big matters. I regretted that I couldn't contact him directly, so I just called Sofia.
Soon, most of the noise around him disappeared.
There were two more female guards beside him.
In fact, he was just worried that those people would make him think that she was restless, and there were still some things that seemed to be persevering, just pretending to be invisible.
The family continued to ask for money, but they still refused.
Now she sends 100 pounds home every month. This money is enough for her parents to live well in Moscow. If she wants more, she will not give it to her. No matter how her father accuses her mother, yells at her brother, or threatens to come to London and beat him up. With her cold-blooded face, Bichi just pretended not to hear.
The man would give her a lot of money on a regular basis, but she would have very little expenses on weekdays. She didn't even need to pay for her daughter's education expenses, and most of them were saved.
For myself and for my daughter.
There is still no sense of security in his bones. In the future, if he no longer wants himself, he will always have some savings to live on.
Nina must have grown up by then and would have completely lost her worries.
April 7th, an ordinary Friday.
At five o'clock in the morning, in Hammersmith District, I woke up in the apartment prepared by the man for mother and daughter. After washing, I went to see my daughter first. The little girl slept soundly and was named 'Meow Meow' by Nina. The tabby cat was lying lazily at the foot of the bed. When he saw her coming in, he jumped out of bed lightly and slipped out silently.
There are a lot of rats in London, so keeping a powerful cat at home is a very wise choice.
Not only the apartment where the mother and daughter live, but as the housekeeper of all his properties in London, she actually manages more than 20 cats of all kinds, scattered in his mansions and villas across London.
She loved these proud and distant little creatures.
Not noisy, not pestering.
Moreover, it can survive well on its own even if it is separated from its owner.
After quietly sizing up her daughter for a while, she left the room and went downstairs, where the new female guard Tatiana was already waiting.
The mother and daughter were originally accompanied by one maid and one bodyguard. Recently, two more were added, Tatyana and Anya, both from Ukraine. She is not a person who is good at getting along with others. Fortunately, these female maids and bodyguards are very professional, and she is not A demanding person who everyone gets along well with.
After saying good morning, the two left the apartment and set off for the Heston area next to Osterley Park in the western suburbs of London.
The girls moved from the city center to a small estate there last year.
After one year, the girls' ballet classes have not been abandoned, but have been reduced to three mornings every week, Monday, Wednesday and Friday.
None of the remaining 7 girls from last year have been eliminated in the past year, and there are still 7 girls. In just one year, these girls, who were originally very good and were raised like princesses by a certain man, have undergone earth-shaking changes in appearance, figure and temperament. When ordinary people see it at first glance, they will instinctively think that the girls should be from old families. The daughter of a noble family, she is beautiful, smart, decent and impeccable.
Occasionally, there will be envy, and then it turns into sadness for a time that is destined to be hard to return.
I am also a little curious about what will happen to these princess-like girls in the future. In any case, they must be better than her.
After all, she is her student who has been teaching for more than a year, and the girls have always respected her, so the initial unfamiliarity between the two parties has long since passed.
In the practice room of the small manor, during the warm-up, the girls told her interesting things about the MV.
In just a few days, because of her solo dance, many ballet training classes in London received a large number of applications. Last night, the BBC TV station also broadcast a special program. A dancer imitated her dance. The girls unanimously felt that it was terrible. There were also professional dancers as guests who analyzed the dance, and found that a seemingly simple dance, It turns out that it is so difficult, and most people who don’t have ten years of skill can’t dance well.
Barabara.
She just listened quietly and occasionally responded with a faint smile. After all, she was not a talkative woman.
So I can't help but envy the girls' generosity and cheerfulness.
After the morning ballet class, she returned to her residence, had breakfast with her daughter, sent her to kindergarten, and then started her day's work. Today she had to perform routine cleaning on several of the man's properties in London, in addition to the team of maids she led. , girls will also participate.
There are all kinds of properties. He has purchased 27 properties in London. Some are an entire apartment building, and some are a row of villas. Apart from a small number for them to live in, most of them are vacant and have no intention of renting them out. , and therefore she spends most of her time on these properties every month.
Moreover, this is just a city in London, and she is not responsible for properties in other parts of the UK.
I didn’t find it troublesome, but rather fulfilling.
I stayed busy like this until the afternoon, and went to pick up my daughter in person. In the evening, I returned to Hammersmith's residence. When I got off the car, another paparazzi rushed over. While taking pictures of her, he asked loudly: "Yulia, are you Simon?" ·The lover of Westeros?”
Turn a blind eye.
But, it’s an obvious thing, do you have anything to ask
He has many public lovers
She was just an inconspicuous one among them, and he had never even touched her body.
The female guard named Anya stepped forward to block the paparazzi, and Tatyana protected mother and daughter through the door. The episode ended quickly.
The evening was finally private time for mother and daughter.
In a three-story single-family villa, one servant and three bathrooms lived on the first floor. The mother and daughter occupied the second and third floors. After dinner, in a living room on the second floor, she hugged her daughter, and her daughter hugged Meow Meow, patiently accompanying her. Little people watch cartoons.
However, Nina seemed dissatisfied with the cartoon that was playing, so she grabbed the remote control and changed the channel.
The screen jumps and cuts several times, and a figure happens to appear on the screen.
It's him.
The daughter also stopped changing channels, pointed to the TV screen with her little finger, turned to her, and said with innocence and excitement and expectation: "Dad."
I felt my heart tremble slightly.
In fact, her daughter was like her, not very smart, and she couldn't compare with Natalie's girls. However, the little person who was about to be four years old finally began to understand some things. After entering kindergarten last fall, she came back one time and asked about her father. By some strange coincidence, she showed her daughter a magazine with his photo printed on it and said that this was her father. She also explained that her father was very busy and could not stay with them. around.
Her daughter seemed to understand at the time, but as a little person, her attention quickly shifted to other places, and she rarely mentioned it again. She thought her daughter had forgotten about it.
did not expect.
I suddenly remembered it again today.
Perhaps, I have never forgotten it.
I held my daughter tighter in my arms and looked at the picture on the TV. The news was about the first anniversary of the Rwanda genocide in Africa. The President of the United States was speaking on the stage. He and many dignitaries were sitting in the audience. About him There are not many shots, but every time they look very eye-catching.
The daughter huddled in her arms, looked at the TV screen, and called softly again.
She just hummed slightly.
Nothing was said.
But there was some fear in my heart.
For a man like him who stands high in the clouds, if he knew that he had rashly let his daughter call him... he would be very angry, and then he would completely abandon her.
However, thinking about it, she only saw him once in the past year, and her daughter will probably never see him again.
So relax.
The relevant news lasted for more than ten minutes. Neither mother and daughter were very interested in this kind of news, but they both read it quietly and patiently, just for the occasional scene about the man.
Unfortunately, he did not take the stage to speak, so his voice could not be heard.
Simon left North America on April 3. He traveled from New York to Melbourne, and then from Melbourne to Kigali, the capital of Rwanda. He participated in the first anniversary commemoration of the massacre, stayed in Rwanda for a weekend, and traveled non-stop to Kenya, South Africa, and Angola. Several countries returned to Australia again on April 13.
In more than ten days, the cumulative flight journey exceeded 50,000 kilometers.
In the process of running, the huge business machine of the Westeros system is still running.
On April 6, Universal Studios Osaka officially opened.
Too much preparation work has been done in advance, and Simon still does not have absolute expectations for the opening of this studio. His request for the Osaka Universal Studios operation team is to learn from Tokyo Disney’s successful experience and make Universal Studios It has its own characteristics, so Simon gave the operation team three years of adjustment and running-in time.
Within three years, Universal Studios Osaka does not pursue profitability, but only needs to do its best through continuous improvement in details.
In any case, Universal Studios has a more important mission for Daenerys Entertainment, which is to promote the influence of Daenerys’ brand throughout Asia.
As long as tourists enter Universal Studios and experience various attractions related to Daenerys' film series, this will enhance the value of the entire Daenerys entertainment brand. When watching movies in the future, I will instinctively have a preference for Daenerys Entertainment's movies.
The reason why Disney movies in my memory can reap huge box office revenue around the world is inseparable from the deeply rooted brand promotion of Disney parks around the world.
Now, Disney has been acquired by the Vivendi Group, and under Simon's secret attack, it is destined to decline.
Daenerys Entertainment plans to open Universal Studios all over the world, which will replace Disneyland and become another weapon for Hollywood to conquer the world.
On April 7, the Easter period opens.
The conclusion of the blockbuster comedy "Toy Fighter" series starring Mike Myers, "Toy Fighter 3" opened on a large scale on 2,893 screens in North America.
At the same time, in the box office week from March 31 to April 6, "The Man from Earth" written by Simon, after successfully breaking the 200 million threshold in the three weekend days of that week, the box office revenue in the final full week was 10.87 million US dollars. , the North American box office accumulated US$206.06 million.
The phenomenal box office performance of "The Man from Earth" in North America has also been transmitted overseas.
Relying on Daenerys' strong global publicity and Simon's personal appeal, the film's cumulative box office in the UK, Germany, Australia and other markets quickly exceeded US$100 million. According to the latest statistics, the overseas box office has reached US$135 million, and this was in Japan and France. When several major ticket warehouses fail to open the draw.
The overseas publicity and distribution department predicts that the overseas box office of "The Man from Earth" will be much higher than that in North America, and may reach more than 300 million U.S. dollars. It is conservatively estimated that the total global box office of the film will exceed 500 million U.S. dollars.
With a production cost of US$1.5 million and a global box office of more than US$500 million, this kind of return on investment can only be described as crazy.
Saturday, April 8th.
Tinker Bayer Company held its new annual new product launch conference at the San Francisco City Hall and officially launched the latest digital camera products iCam-50 (mechanical hard disk version) and iCam-40s (floppy drive version), digital music player iPlayer-10, The latest flash drive iDisk-20 and some peripheral accessories.
Broadcast, as an iPlayer content download platform, is also highly recommended.
Different from the content dilemma when Apple launched the iPod, Broadcast not only cooperated with Daenerys Records, which inherited the assets of Universal Music, but also directly launched the first batch of more than 300,000 genuine music of various types. This iPlayer with a capacity of 500M -10 can also download various audio books, talk shows and other audio resources from the Broadcast platform, many of which are available for free.
Therefore, the market is generally optimistic about iPlayer, the most eye-catching product at this conference.
The valuations of both Tinker Bayer and Broadcast have also increased significantly due to this good news.
Simon returned to Australia after traveling for more than a week, and still had no time to pay attention to the upcoming "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice". Early the next morning, Simon and Raymond Johnson took a few entourages with them. Leave Melbourne quietly.
First, we took a private plane to arrive at the Perth Military Consulting and Security Company base of the Westeros family in Perth, Western Australia, and then took a helicopter and an off-road vehicle to travel all day long on the endless red Gobi Desert in Western Australia. Finally arriving at the destination, Simon himself would not have known where he had arrived without looking at the specific positioning data on the military GPS.
In recent months, Billiton Group has quietly drilled multiple mine holes with a depth of more than 50 meters in the Gobi Desert in the central part of Western Australia, which occupies nearly one-third of Australia's area, on the pretext of exploration.
At the same time, a cargo ship departed from Ukraine more than a month ago. After several twists and turns, the three containers on the cargo ship finally appeared on another cargo ship in the Port of Perth, Western Australia.
The Johnston family used their years of accumulated influence to easily bypass customs and transport three special containers.
If you think about the news in your memory, such as the U.S. customs intercepting as many as 20 tons of drugs, you can imagine how many drugs were not intercepted, and you can also imagine how serious loopholes exist in the customs of Western countries.
All in all, three dismantled nuclear warheads entered the hinterland of Western Australia.
Each of the three nuclear warheads has a yield of 1 million tons, which is equivalent to 50 times the power of the Hiroshima atomic bomb.
On the day before Easter, when the group returned again, except for Simon and Raymond Johnston, who had mastered the precise position through precise military GPS positioning, no one could find a needle in a haystack in the millions of square kilometers of the Gobi Desert. Found several mines where a series of nuclear bomb accessories were buried deep.
The Westeros family's "Sword of Damocles" plan, which has been quietly operating for nearly a year, is officially completed.
On the way back, Raymond asked Simon if he would really use these killer weapons in the future.
Simon recalled the famous saying of a certain emperor in his memory, and replied: If the Westeros family no longer exists, why would we still need this world
The old man showed his white teeth at that time and looked very pleased.
In fact, Simon has considered this matter many times during this year.
It's not regret.
or other.
Huge wealth requires sufficient strength to maintain it.
Simon never doubted that.
He never thought that he would voluntarily give up everything he already owned, even part of it, because doing so would only leave him with nothing.
Simon just discovered that with the continuous improvement of strength, the 'Sword of Damocles' that the Westeros family can use is definitely more than this one.
The current Westeros system can directly participate in many industries in sensitive fields.
Such as nuclear energy.
Such as biology.
For example, during Simon's recent trip to Africa, he happened to hear about the re-emergence of the Ebola epidemic in northern DRC.
In comparison, the plan just completed is a bit tasteless.
However, now that it was completed, Simon did not give up.
Simon has never had the idea that the villains in the movie think that human beings are not worth saving and want to destroy the world.
However, there was no water in what Simon said to the old man.
Simon has no ill intentions towards the world, but he will never allow the world to harm himself and his loved ones.
Otherwise, if the Westeros family no longer exists, why would we still need this world
